OK so i just bought this car and i love it more features than i know of, but when i brake lightly and accelerate it makes a creaking type sound that seems to come from the passenger side right front door. I have have sprayed silicone all over it and does nothing. It comes and goes doesn't start doing it until about 20-30 min of driving. Could it be a bad strut as it makes a contracting and retracting sound or brakes? i have searched the site and cant find a diagnosis for this.

 

I have the same problem brought it to the dealer and said they couldn't find anything, i sprayed it up with silicone also. I just crank the volume up on the radio lol.

 

I've got the same sound on my '08. This is one of 4 things my car in at the dealer as I write this...literally. I hear 'creaking' a low to mid speeds when either accel or braking.

Service dept just called and they tightened and lubed everything. They think the sound was coming from an area of the seat where the leather is against plastic, so they lubed it up with silicone lubricant. I'll see if it helped things.

 

Yea i guess it might be one of those sound you have to deal with, the Acura dealer even couldnt find anything wrong.

 

I'm pretty sure this is normal, unfortunately. My car creaks a LOT when it is cold and while turning, but it's all good.

 

Seat is still squeaking. It sounds like a spring in the seat is getting loaded and unloaded.

 

I believe there was a TSB for loose seat tracks.

The only warranty work our Odyssey ever needed was for a slight squeak from the empty passenger seat on acceleration-- it originated from the seat tracks.

 

Ok so today i was listening for it, and i notice that when i put the car from Park to Drive while the car engages in gear the creaking sound happens. Its also more noticeable while breaking in drive than breaking in neutral. It is driving me insane i don't think a $22,000 car should makes this, anyways im gonna drop it off at the dealer, my luck it wont make the noise while its there

 

Swaybar bushings or motor mount.

Try turning the wheel all the way in either direction and accelerate and brake and see what it does.

 

Thanks i will try that tomorrow, if its one of those will it not or will it make the noise when turning while braking?

 

oh one more thing can i view the bushings if i take the wheel off? Thanks

 

You can see them but they usually look fine visually. I torqued the one bolt you can get to with the subframe in the car a little extra and it helped. You could try getting some grease in there with a needle.

 

It seems the TL is a rattle prone! I kept hearing a crackling or popping noise while in drive, especially at low speeds on my 2005 TL. No noise while in neutral.

First, the dealer replaced the front right bushing. Finally, after taking it in several times (because they couldn't hear the sound) they said one of my engine mounts was cracked. I never felt excessive vibriations from the engine before the repair. Not being a mechanic, I have no idea if this was the problem but I don't hear the noise anymore...
